For surveyors
Survey-grade outputs. Operator-grade pricing.
mapplot gives small survey firms the RTK, PPK, and GCP workflows they need — without the enterprise seat tax.
What survey firms actually need
Not a marketing checklist — the specific workflows your operation depends on.
- RTK from DJI M3E, M350, and Dock workflows — GPS metadata read automatically
- PPK processing with automated verification against GCPs
- GCP placement tool with CSV export for post-processing in any software
- Check-point reporting included in every processing run
- GeoTIFF, LAS, OBJ, and DSM output from NodeODM
- CAD-ready coordinate systems — choose your projection at export
- Shareable web viewers with per-project access control
- Proposals and contracts connected to project data
Why small survey firms choose mapplot over enterprise platforms
Not a feature war. A structural difference.
| mapplot | Enterprise platforms | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | $29–$99/mo. No seat tax. No per-acre fees. | $5,000–$15,000+/yr. Book a demo first. |
| Onboarding | Sign up, upload a flight, get a map. | Sales call, trial approval, CSM introduction. |
| Processing | NodeODM on your hardware or ours. Your data stays local. | Cloud-only upload. Per-image or per-acre pricing on some tiers. |
| Deliverables | Branded PDFs, shareable web viewers, before/after comparison. | Dashboard access. PDF export varies by plan. |
| Infrastructure | BYO NodeODM, S3, basemap. Open by default. | Walled garden. Your orthos live on their servers. |
Enterprise platforms are great for Fortune 500 programs with dedicated CSMs and six-figure budgets. If that's you, DroneDeploy or Propeller are worth a look. If it's not, this is your tool.
Local processing. Your data stays local.
mapplot uses NodeODM under the hood — the same open-source photogrammetry engine that powers WebODM. Run it on your own workstation, your own server, or let us host a processing instance for you.
- Orthomosaics, DSM, DTM, LAS point clouds, and OBJ mesh — all from one processing run
- GCP CSV imported directly into NodeODM — no re-export required
- Sub-inch RTK accuracy verified automatically against ground truth
- Processing logs available for every job — full transparency
Solo at $29/mo. Team at $99/mo.
Solo covers one pilot doing real jobs. Team adds CRM, lead forms, crew scheduling, and unlimited documents — right for a 2–5 person firm. No annual contract on either.
